It destroyed me, totally destroyed me and I was no more good. I was a tenor saxophone freak, probably before then, but that certified it. <BR/><BR/>I love this quote too. This happens to us all. When you aspire to be a musician/artist/writer...there are moments that do destroy you when you hear something or read something. Epiphanic but destroying too. Great quote. I can really relate to that. <BR/><BR/>Wonderful writing Rod...and some great links too. I'm listening to the other tracks now. And enjoying them very much.Molly Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15002045980797531079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14790591.post-1155033064708147812006-08-08T03:31:00.000-07:002006-08-08T03:31:00.000-07:00I absolutely loved the flute on Red's Mood.
